"Who is one of your dream guests for this show...?"
SURPRISE! This week I'm so excited to release a special episode with an incredible Queer that I've been admiring and wanting to talk to for so long...
Marti Allen Cummings (they/them) is an NYC based drag artist and activist/community organizer. Marti is currently running for a city council seat in Manhattan's 7th Council District on the West Side of Manhattan.
On this special episode, Marti and I discuss their unconventional way of becoming a drag queen and moving on to become one of the country's most recognizable drag artists. We also discuss the moment they chose to do more with their drag and get into community organizing and politics, how drag queens and Queer people in general need to get political, and lastly what has given us both hope for the future.
